Recycling drumsticks (DIY Drum Stick Modifications)


Old drumsticks have many uses. Here's couple of them:

1. Stun the fish you catch with an old drumstick
This was made MacGyver style in the last minute when my friend was picking me up for an ice fishing trip. You need a duct tape, a piece of metal pipe and of course a drumstick, so go and smash one! I'll add a huge hook on the bottom of this stick later, so this will serve me later also as a lifting hook for even bigger catches.


2. Vacuum cleaner wheels made from old drumstick
My vacuum cleaner was broken pretty badly. I was going to throw the whole thing away, because finding the spare parts wasn't an easiest task. But as it is, the solution is always next to you. First I repaired its hose. I opened the hose adapter, shortened the hose a bit with scissors and glued them back together with Extreme Repair glue. Yesterday I replaced old broken plastic wheels with a pieces cut from old Vic Firth drumsticks. These 7A:s were the only models I've in my apartment at the moment. I think model 2A or 2B would be best size for this kind of mod. ;)

So my advice is to save your old drumsticks if possible. You never now when you need them and what for.
